Starting at midnight on September 20, gamers will get yet another glimpse of what is possible on consoles like the Xbox 360. ****, developer behind Gears of War and the Unreal engine, is confident that though we’ve been in the current generation for some time, there is a lot left to offer.

“I think if we bring out any more products on the 360 depending on life cycle, we’ll be able to squeeze more water from that stone,” said Gears lead Cliff Bleszinski to The Telegraph. “That said, I still think there is a huge amount of room for improvement in graphics. We want to get to Avatar-quality and real time and beyond. I think we can absolutely get there, hopefully in the next generation if everybody ponies up and does good hardware.”

Of course, the next generation remains to be officially confirmed by the likes of Microsoft and Sony. Bleszinski knows of course, but is understandably unwilling to share. When prompted about the next offerings in console development, Bleszinski dangled the knowledge out as bait, saying that “I could tell you, but I’d violate an NDA.”

As for the future of Gears, there is still life in the series. While Gears of War 3 represents the final chapter in the current story, there is more to the franchise than the exploits of Marcus Fenix.

“Well, we could do first person, we could do an RTS we could do anything with it,” he offered. “We’re just limited by our bandwidth. As a studio we are in a very good position to be a slave to our success with the Gears franchise.”

“And all good things come to those who wait.“

Just got the game today. Haven't gotten a chance to play anything but Horde mode, but it's awesome. The Boss rounds are insane.

Re: Gears of War 3

I wasn't going to get it because of 2k12 coming out a few weeks after, but boy am I glad I did. I forgot how fun Horde was!

Anyone down to try to get all 50?

My only complaint is that there are no new guns.

Re: Gears of War 3

So, after playing an hour or so yesterday I found myself getting really good with the Sawed-Off even though I was absolutely horrible with it in the Beta.

Funny thing, I started using football-game tactics: essentially, you use finess and jukes to duke, dodge & perry, take the shot, and juke until you can reload. The controls on GOW3 are so much smoother than the previous versions that it makes moving, running, sliding, etc that much more fluid. I'm very impressed with the controls to the final version.

Also, I found the use of the sawed-off to be even more deadly if you couple it with a teammate who can use a mid to long range weapon to keep the opponent occupied while you come in for the kill. Even if you don't manage to land the killer hit, your teammate who is raining down bullets will get him or vise versa.

How do you guys think I would feel about this game? I liked the first, but really did not like the second at all.

What caused you to not like the 2nd game Canes? Hard to give you a fair opinion without knowing the issues you had.

Re: Gears of War 3

I'm not exactly sure. It just didn't feel as fun to me as the first did. Maybe it was too similar and I was burnt out by then, I don't know. It had been a while since I had played the first, so I don't know if a lot changed or didn't, but I just couldn't get into the 2nd one like I did the first, online or off.

Offline the story is strong and the gamelay is solid. The campaign is short though and feels easier to me.

Online , its more of the same with a new team death match mode.

I'd rent the game first if your having doubt. If your not going to play online the purchase doesn't warrant $60.

Re: Gears of War 3

As someone that HATES Gears 2 multiplayer, I am loving this. So much smoother, such a better weapon balance, and the dedicated servers/improved net code make a huge huge difference.

Played through the first three chapters of Act 1 on the campaign and really liked what I played so far there as well.

Re: Gears of War 3

Played through Chapter 3 this afternoon.

Spoiler

I kinda saw it coming when Dom visited his wive's grave ,but still bummed me out. E*** did a great job of giving the game a "Us Against The World" feel. You really get that sense of togetherness and desperation.

From American Chopper, this was built for CliffyB....it's a Gears bike.

We were playing multiplayer with a friend of mine and his games were 3-10, 2-8, 3-6 and 1-13.

Then he tried the sawed off and we told him to run straight ahead and hit RT when he got close. He went 6-2, 3-3, 6-3, 7-4 and the killer was his 14-2 game. Lol. He never went negative and was constantly getting kills. He would always find ammo as well. Lmao. Wouldn't use LT either.

Seems like the Sawed Off has an insane Blindfire spread, as long as you are in it's effective range you really don't need to aim just get an easy kill and get out of there.

As long as the player knows how to properly control his character it's easy to get away from most players in Gears, only the true veterans know how to keep up by sliding from cover to cover... or even quick swap to pistol to try and shoot down a fleeing player. Barely seen anyone in pub matches do this.

I somewhat feel the Sawed Off needs more balancing.. and I'm not saying this as a angry complaint because I die from it often. I really do think it's too easy of a weapon to use, just not sure how to tone it down without making it obsolete. Maybe reduce the hipfire spread a little bit more, so that you have to aim a bit with it?

Re: Gears of War 3

Have to start playing. I had the game since release played it twice online, yet to even play the story yet. Not sure why I haven't really got into it yet
